CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
2025 Overview
Type: Station 3 Improvements
Department: Administration
Useful Life: Varies
Category: Building Maintenance &
Improvements
Contact: DC Becker
Description:
The primary purpose of this capital item is to fund the resurfacing of the Station 3 parking
lot. Any remaining funds will be assigned to minor improvements within Station 3 such as
alterations to the day room and fitness room. The parking lot will need to be re-assessed
before work can be completed to indicate the extent of resurfacing required. Because of
this, the District has budgeted conservatively for this project to ensure availability of funds
($175,000).
Justification:
The District regularly operates a variety of heavy machinery out of Station 3, including a
tower ladder. Additionally, because the District’s training tower is located at Station 3, the
District can typically expect a minimum of 2 engines, 1 tower ladder, and 1 ambulance to be
operating out of the parking lot during live fire training exercises. Oftentimes, this number
is larger as mutual aid organizations also participate in training. Finally, the District’s fuel
tanks are located at Station 3, eliciting another requirement for heavy machinery. Funding
the proper upkeep and maintenance of Station 3’s parking lot ensures all necessary
emergency and utility vehicles are able to access the station. This is in alignment with the
following low priority strategic goal: implement the facility improvement plan to complete
all phases and continuously evaluate all facilities for needed improvements
Budget Impact/Other:
Per GFOA best practices, operating impacts may be classified into one of three elements (or
a combination of the three) based on the nature of the purchase: 1) increased revenues, 2)
increased expenditures, and 3) additional cost savings. Station 3’s parking lot resurfacing
project will primarily provide the District additional cost savings immediately after the
project’s completion. This is due to a reduction in short-term repairs and risk of damage to
vehicles. Depending on the scale of resurfacing required, the District could see a minor
increase in expenditures in the short term. Additionally, the District does not anticipate a
need to assign additional expenditures for vehicle storage while the resurfacing project is
being completed. However, should this be the case, the District would also experience
immediate, short-term increased expenditures.
